When it comes to organ donation, the majority of American non-donors are passive-positives - they support organ donation but have yet to register as donors. A quasi-experimental, four-city, pretest/posttest study was conducted to assess the utility of the IIFF Model as a means of increasing registration among these individuals. Focus groups were used as the intervention context. In support of the model's utility, 46.6% of focus group participants signed donor cards at the end of the intervention. Extrapolated to the general population, such a finding could result in millions of new registrants. Retrospective analyses of reasons for non-registration provided before the start of the focus groups reveal that passive-positives placing culpability for non-registration on lack of knowledge or opportunity register signed-up at a rate of 63.6%. Passive-positives claiming to have put off registering because of their discomfort with thoughts of death or fear that organ donors are allowed to die so their organs can be harvested registered at a rate of 5.8%.
当涉及到器官捐赠时，大多数美国非捐赠者是被动积极者——他们支持器官捐赠，但尚未注册为捐赠者。一项准实验性的、四个城市的、预测试/后测试研究评估了 IIFF 模型作为增加这些人注册的一种手段的效用。焦点小组被用作干预环境。支持该模型的效用，46.6%的焦点小组参与者在干预结束时签署了捐赠卡。推断到一般人群中，这样的发现可能会导致数以百万计的新注册者。在开始焦点小组之前对非注册原因的回顾性分析表明，将非注册归咎于缺乏知识或机会的被动积极者注册率为 63.6%。声称因对死亡的想法感到不适或担心器官捐赠者被允许死亡以便可以收获他们的器官而推迟注册的被动积极者的注册率为 5.8%。
